Agencies unite to give a leg up to businesses


WOULD-BE entrepreneurs in the Ribble Valley are being promised a better deal for their new and growing small businesses. Business support agencies working in the


area have come together with the aim of providing an improved service to the next generation of "Richard Bransons . The agencies, who all provide Business


Link services, together with private sector professionals, were brought together by Ribble Valley Enterprise Agency which will be taking a key role in co-ordinating the support that is so vital to smaller busi-


I16SS6S*“There are so many different agencies providing help that it is difficult for people to know where to turn,” said executive


director Aileen Evans. “Each organisation has its own strengths


and can provide invaluable advice and practical assistance, but I appreciate it can look a complex and bewildering process for


the businessman or woman. ‘We have a shared vision of rural regen­


eration and the role it can play in building a strong local economy. The meeting also provided a very useful opportunity to hear the views on our services from the people working in areas such as accountancy,


banking and insurance.” Ribble Valley Enterprise Agency will


direct people to the most appropriate source of assistance which can range from advice on accounts and marketing to grants and investment packages. The agencies taking part were Ribble


Valley Enterprise Agency, Ribble Valley Borough Council, Business Link, Clitheroe The Future, Lancashire Rural Futures, Northern Rural Partnership and Trinity


Partnership. Appropriately, the meeting took place at , , ,.


Bashall Barn, the farm shop and confer­ ence centre set up by Simon Barnes who has been supported by the Ribble Valley Enterprise Agency.


First steps towards building new waste site


THE first step has been taken towards the creation of a Waste Transfer Station


in the Ribble Valley. Members of the borough’s


Community Committee have agreed in principle that a WTS be built at the Salthill Depot in Lincoln Way, in a joint project with Lancashire County Cornell. However, the decision does not mean that the


scheme will definitely pro­ ceed, as the financial impli­ cations are being reviewed as part of the council s cur­ rent on-going budget pro­ cess. Several other key deci­ sions about the scheme will also have to be made. The council’s engineering


manager Mr Graham dag­ ger described last week s decision as “one piece of a big jigsaw”. He added that


as well as looking at the financial implications, the matter has also to be dis­ cussed by Lancashire Coun­ ty Council’s Planning Com­ mittee next month and by Ribble Valley’s planning committee, which will also put forward its observations and recommendations. However, the final recom mendation will ultimately be made at county level.

Independent schools of all types


INDEPENDENT schools are ones which receive no direct income from state sources. Their funding comes large­ ly from fees paid by parents. For centuries, inde­


pendent schools have provided a first-class education for chil­ dren, many of whom have gone on to make a significant contri­ bution to national life. There are indepen­


dent schools of all types - selective and non-selective, board­


ing and day, large and small, mixed and single sex, urban and rural. These schools ensure the availabili­ ty of an education distinct from tha t provided by the state. The Indepen­ dent Schools Infor­ mation Service was founded in 1965 and became a national organisation in 1972. Its two aims are: • To answer par­


ents' questions about independent schools and help them with educational prob­ lems.

ADVERTISING FEATURE • To ensure that


the general public has an accurate image of indepen­ dent schools and appreciates their con­ tribution to the nation. More than six chil­


dren out of seven at independent schools are day pupils.


They often come


from a wider area than those at state day schools. Some­ times the children live 15 or 20 miles away from their school. If day schooling


would best suit your child, you should make a list of schools
